iCrimp KIT-FACL PEX Crimping Tool Kit - Angle Head for Tight Spaces

In this review the iCrimp KIT-FACL PEX crimping tool kit is judged on practicality for home plumbers and renovators; its single biggest reason to buy is the angle head crimper that lets you reach confined spots like under sinks and behind toilets while still delivering reliable crimps. The kit is presented as a compact, all-in-one solution for working with PEX-B barbed fittings, combining a crimper with exchangeable jaws, a purpose-built copper ring removal tool and a heavy-duty tubing cutter, and meeting the ASTM F1807 standard.

Key Features

• Angle head crimper: The innovative angle head design enables crimping in tight corners and under fixtures where straight-head crimpers cannot reach.
• Exchangeable crimp jaws: Interchangeable jaws support 3/8, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 crimp rings so one tool handles the common PEX ring sizes.
• Copper ring removal tool: The removal tool extracts 1/2, 3/4 and 1 copper rings without damaging the PEX fitting, allowing reuse of fittings when needed.
• PEX tubing cutter: The cutter slices through up to 1 in PEX smoothly and cleanly, reducing the need for additional cutting tools on the job.
• ASTM F1807 compliance: The kit meets the ASTM F1807 standard, providing confidence it fits industry expectations for PEX crimp fittings.

Who It's For

The kit is aimed at DIY homeowners, plumbing renovators and professional handymen who work on PEX-B piping and need a compact set that covers crimping, decrimping and cutting. It is particularly useful for those who encounter tight installation spaces and prefer a single portable kit instead of multiple separate tools.

Those who primarily use powered crimpers for high-volume work may still use this kit as a backup or for hard-to-reach spots, but if you need a dedicated heavy-duty production crimper for day-long commercial jobs, consider a full-size power crimper instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy construction and reliable performance for home plumbing and renovation tasks.
• Angle head makes it possible to crimp in confined corners where straight tools fail.
• Includes decrimp removal tool to salvage fittings and a cutter that slices up to 1 in tubing cleanly.
• Exchangeable jaws cover the most common crimp ring sizes, reducing tool clutter.

Cons

• The manual crimper is ideal for occasional and tight-space work but is not a replacement for a dedicated power crimper on high-volume commercial jobs.
• Kit contents are focused on PEX-B and copper crimp rings, so users working with other PEX systems should verify compatibility.

Our Verdict

The iCrimp KIT-FACL is a practical, value-minded toolkit for residential plumbers and DIY renovators who need reliable manual crimping, decrimping and cutting in tight spaces. Its angle head and exchangeable jaws make it versatile for most PEX-B jobs, and the inclusion of a removal tool is a real convenience when reusing fittings. For the price it offers sensible durability and utility, though high-volume professionals should pair it with a power crimper for production work.
